Week 20 of pregnancy

Well I've finally got some time to sit down and get you all updated. Lucas is spending the night with my mom tonight. I dropped him off this morning. So I'm FREE today. Although it's hard to let him go as much as it is nice to get a break. I miss him alot while he's gone.

The pregnancy is going really well. I'm not having any problems. Mostly it's a really easy pregnancy. Today I am exactly 20 weeks. HALF-WAY! Actually since I'll have a scheduled c section before my due date I have less than 20 more weeks to go. I'm really excited to have this baby but at the same time I'm really enjoying being pregnant, and I guess I should really enjoy that because I know alot of women don't really get to enjoy there pregnancies so I am very thankful. So far I've gained only about 5 pounds but I'm starting to "look pregnant". I started popping out early on but I didn't necessarily "look pregnant" But now I do.

Mike and I recently decided that we are going to find out the sex of that baby. Mostly because it's more convenient to know. Especially since this baby will be born at a different time of year than lucas was so we'll need alot of new things even if we have another boy because we will need warmer newborn and 3 month clothes. All of our newborn stuff from lucas is summer clothing like shorts and jumpers because he was born at the end of May. If we have a girl then we'll need even more things because if we have another boy we will have some things that we can reuse again but won't be able to reuse if we have a girl. And let me tell you that I don't want to just have to buy all green and yellow. If I have a girl you better believe that she will be wearing all the cute pink frilly outfits!! And also it will help us decide if we have to choose a boy name or a girl name. We have the girl name picked out so if we do have a girl we don't have to worry about picking names. If we're having a boy again then we know we have to get crackin with picking a name. We're having such a hard time picking a boy name so we figure if we find out we're having a girl then we don't have to spend anymore time picking out a boy name!
I'd like to have a girl since I have a boy already but I'm ok with having another boy too, of course. Then lucas will have a brother and they'll be really close in age. But I've always dreamed of having a little girl. And the girl stuff is WAY cuter that the boy stuff!! When I'm out I always browse through the baby section and I just can't help my stuff looking at all the girl things. They're so darn cute!!

Lucas is doing really well. He's walking now!! Just yesterday he walked from the living room through the dining room to the kitchen without holding onto anything. He's really starting to cruise around the house. Once he starting taking a few steps and realized he could walk it was all over. So now he's walking. He's got his 4th top tooth coming through. This makes his 6th tooth total. 4 top and 2 bottom. He's still only saying mama. That's about it. We can't get him to say dada. Whenever we say lucas say dada he just says mama. Poor Mike.

Mike's knee is doing better. He's been going through physical therapy and should be going back to work within 2 weeks.
